1905-1982

Annie Vaughan Weaver, hailing from Selma, Alabama, displayed remarkable artistic talent and aspired to pursue a career as an artist. Despite initially intending to become a missionary, Weaver's passion for art led her to enroll at Smith College. Following her graduation, she made the decision to pursue art studies in New York City. To fund her education, she authored and illustrated children's books. In New York, Weaver studied at prestigious institutions and gained valuable experience under established sculptors. She achieved recognition and received fellowships to study Romanesque architecture in Europe. Weaver later taught at the Norton Gallery and School of Art before focusing on her sculpture. She eventually transformed the Norton estate into a sculpture garden. Upon her passing, her ashes were interred in Selma.
